It doesn't matter if you're rich or poorIf you're old or youngEverybody, every now and thenHas got to have some fun

So turn up the musicTurn up the juicePut me in the spotlightAnd turn me loose

You better hold on tightThis country's gonna rock tonight

[Chorus]This country's rockin'To the beat of a brand new drumBack in Kentucky where I come fromThey love to hear that old guitar strumThis country's rockin'Jump back and let the bad boys playEverywhere across the USAThis country's rockin' all the way

You might ride a horse, drive a PorscheOr cruise in limousinesEat caviar with champagneOr cornbread with your pinto beans

But there's one thingIn which we all agreeWe love our country musicLike the Queen loves tea
